(And.... they wonder why I don't watch TV.)
Take, for example, that show every noon: The Half Sisters. I hate listening to it (I hate watching it, but someone left the TV on). The stupidity of the characters is quite amusing in so many ways I can't even describe.
But it doesn't mean that every Filipino is unimaginative, stupid and repetitive. If you are familiar with "Misteryo sa Tuwa", you'll know that poor people are not always good, but are also human who needs money, and women are not always stupid and powerless (ooh~ that's so feminist!). And there are many indie movie writers (and artists) in the Philippines who knows that not everyone in the crowd is stupid.
